Probably missing something but why is Clinkz Dire? Reading his lore, he seems like one of the good guys.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;40416538]Probably missing something but why is Clinkz Dire? Reading his lore, he seems like one of the good guys.[/QUOTE]
Because he's like 85% demon fire, 10% troll, and 5% bone.
As it was discussed at LENGTH in another thread, Dire/Rade does not cut clean across Villain/Hero.
It's more like an ethnic grouping.
Troll Warlord and Ogre Magi certainly are not heroic. Lycan and Medusa certainly are not evil.

Cause Skeletons Club is owned by Ostarion and he ain't inviting none of those Radiant peasants.
I love Clinkz's lore, he is just a little archer who while protecting his homelands was cursed to forever walk a broken road with the fires of hell in his step.

Clinkz always makes me feel sad because of his backstory. Very fucking definition of "I never asked for this", yet tries to make the best of it.

[quote=Clinkz Lore][I]... leaving him a being of bones and rage, caught in the very act of dying, carrying hell’s breath with him on his journey into eternity.[/I][/quote]
It is tragedy in the very basic sense of it. Guy does his job, get's cursed to no end. But he isn't making best of it, he is dying permamently, including pain and emotions it causes. It is rather infuriating and he lets it be so, especially since that demon's hellfire is now part of him.

Well he *is* making the best of it: You've got that shit, you can't do anything about it, might as well use it. But yeah, it's incredibly tragic.

You know what would be incredibly cool? If Valve started to make "Meet the Hero" videos similar to TF2, like animate their lore. I certainly would fucking love to see what Rubick's fight against the magi would have looked like.

Sure it would be lovely, and here's where Valve strikes again!
The "Meet the Team" videos took a while to come out, right ? And that was just 9 classess to cover.
Dota 2 right now has 100 heroes, and there is 10 more to come and likely more in baking. However, we have broad community and Source Film Maker.
Professionally done videos would of course be much more "tasty", especially with original Voice Actors and Valve's touch, but I've heard people that immitated some heroes extremely well ([I]King, King, Skeleton King![/I]) and if given time, exposure and reason, they will make such content happen.
Something along lines of Dotacinema+PixelLabouratories could happen. Just in sense that skilled team/guy in SFM join DotaCinema to use their resoureces, DotaCinema announces cast for "hero immitators', etc. We, as community, have tools (thanks to Valve!), we don't have to wait for companies to make it happen.
Or hell, one could just make a "Meet the Hero" movie without given hero saying anything outside of his in-game lines/sounds and have a narrator tell the story. That'd be great too, and notice how it limits requirements to good narrator voice and SFM skills.

Yeah, Clinks has a great tragic backstory, kinda like Specter. Her back story isn't so tragic, but her [url=http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/6/61/Spec_kill_02.mp3]voice[/url] [url=http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/f/f9/Spec_death_02.mp3]lines[/url] [url=http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/7/76/Spec_death_06.mp3]are[/url].
Maybe they could do "shorts" involving a couple of heroes, like showing Tidehunter trying to get revenge on Kunkka, eventually asking Slark to help him out; after that, it pans to Anti-Mage and Invoker locked in combat downriver or something like that.
It'd be kind of a "Pulp Fiction" Tarantino-style of multi-threaded storytelling, following different stories and events that pop up during the 5v5 match, with some stories clashing briefly like Anti-Mage getting hit on the head by a Courier that Tiny threw accidentally when he was trying to hit Meepo, who saunters past a dazed Anti-Mage who looks up at a gloating Invoker.

They'd have to do em in packs, like the Satyrs, Luna/Potm, Lina/CM. It took valve years to make those videos just for 9 characters, couldn't imagine them doing ~100
Is there a full list of things that Doom blocks/doesn't block somewhere?

Yes and no. It's got a certain appeal, but being able to win because I'm better feels great as well.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;40418294]Is there a full list of things that Doom blocks/doesn't block somewhere?[/QUOTE]
I can only find a list based off of Dota 1 Doom but from what I've read the spell is the exact same in Dota 2
[QUOTE]
Doom Does NOT Disable
Items
Eye of Skadi (Cold Attack - Melee)
Blademail's Damage return (when activated)
Unholy Rage (active Satanic ability) - This is a buff granting 175% extra Lifesteal that will work if on, even though Satanic's passive 25% is disabled.
Bloodstone - None of Bloodstone's special death effects are hindered if the carrier is Doomed.
Lothar's Edge - Invisibility and Backstab damage are not disabled
Stygian Desolator Orb
Sange,SnY and HH - Maim is no longer disabled by Doom
Misc
Any kind of +Stat, +Dmg, +HP/Mana, IAS, IMS, or Regen.
Any type of buff
Auras - Does not remove or hamper any auras (Hero or Item based)

I play all random and if game is not a stomp (~50% of case for me, including both ways) it's usually refreshing. Dota has this thing about it, that when you think you've seen everything, Refresher Battlefury Rapier Ymir appears.
FML, computer autorestarted for updates and I was seconds late to reconnect. It was the first one I've won in weeks, would have leveled off of it. God damnit.

Clockwerk and Phantom lancer lores are pretty sad too.
Saddest lore of 2013 goes to Dirge, for his astounding performance in going entirely insane, killing his friends and never dying despite his endless hatred of his life.

Man, Silencer sound effects are real good.
I love the evil laugh of last word and the void silence after he hits the ground with his shield.
Outworld's lore is pretty cool
A fucking flying centaur made of obsidian coming down from the outer universe to warn people about... himself.
